Request final utilities inspections through OSC
Agency: Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s One Stop Centre (OSC)
Under OSC 1Submission, the builder must request the relevant inspections via the OSC. The OSC will arrange and coordinate inspections and the connections schedule with the relevant agencies. For low-risk buildings the Engineering Department, the Water Authority and the Fire and Rescue Department will inspect the building independently. The OSC can also coordinate inspections with the electrical utility company if requested. For high-risk buildings the inspection with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is also mandatory.
For buildings with an occupation of more than 150 person equivalents, the Sewerage Authority will also conduct an inspection, which is also coordinated by the OSC. The inspections typically take place between one and two weeks after they are requested.
For buildings with an occupation of less than 150 person equivalents, the sewerage connection works must be completed by a licensed plumber and no inspection is performed by IWK. Once the works are completed, the applicant must present a self-declaration that the engineer in charge of the sewerage works completed the works according to the applicable sewerage regulations and complying with standards. The OSC collects the relevant forms and as-built plans of the sewerage works completed and requests IWK to file a clearance letter.
